Sophie’s internship hopes hit a wall when AmeriCorps gets shut down, raising questions about what happens when 56 million people don’t vote.

• Field Days and Spring Break energy from school and home life.
• A proud update on his kids, including Sophie’s Winter Guard success, Sarah’s grad prep, and Chrissy’s impressive French journey.
• A heartfelt, funny-but-terrifying untold story of the time Owen vanished at a water park.
• A pointed rant about the SAVE Act and how voter suppression is creeping in disguised as policy.
• A raw reflection on how talking to yourself turns into talking to AI, and how that shift helped Matt lose some weight, re-launch this podcast, and rediscover joy.
